Because they're evil! Every day they do something to annoy me and the girlfriend finds it hiarious. So yes, I do favor the canine.

Just what I was needing. Thanks! Nice work.

AND your PETS listened so well!!!

Awesome dude! I'm glad this will help you out and that's why I wanted to make some instructions for it. Good luck man and let me know how it goes.

Thanks for taking the time to share this! Way cool!

Thanks man! When you get up in the middle of the night to write your name, you'll really appreciate it, because your net closes itself automatically. That's one of the reasons I made this design and have loved it for quite awhile now.

They should probably make this bad boy a STICKY.

You could always make one for your ENO.

And thanks a lot for the sticky suggestion. It would be pretty cool to get one of those.

+1 on the sticky request!

Cheers

They are huge and adorable here... BEWARE!

Glad these instructions can help you out dude and thanks for the sticky suggestion.

The timing on this is just way too cool. I just got the whoopies installed on my son's cheapo parachute hammock. Now I need some insect protection and "voila", instructions in my first search.

Rather than sew the ends I may just leave them open for now. I want to be able to install/remove without taking down the hammock. Perhaps if I put a length of shock cord along each bottom edge so I can tie it together at the corners if that would keep the netting in place? Maybe a few short tabs of velcro to close off the ends just a bit (keep it from sliding off). This would add a little weight but make it more flexible for my purposes.

Great idea....just what I was looking for.

Awesome! I'm glad these instructions can help you out.

If you leave the ends open you won't be able to do the shock cord bottom because that will prevent it from coming off the way you were describing.

I actually don't have to take the hammock down when removing the netting. I just pull off one whoopie, slide it through the netting hole and then re-attach it to my webbing. Then walk on over to the other side and repeat. My hammock never even touches the ground and it takes about a minute to do.

I can shoot a quick video for you tomorrow if you want a visual example. Just let me know dude.

I figured this would be a perfect project for those cold winters. Let me know how it comes out and I'm glad this will help you out. Thanks a lot!
